worldwide suicide

• worldwide suicide
  (music, lyrics: eddie vedder)
  
  i felt the earth on monday. it moved beneath my feet.
  in the form of a morning paper. laid out for me to see.
  
  saw his face in a corner picture. i recognized the name.
  could not stop staring at the. face i'd never see again.
  
  it's a shame to awake in a world of pain
  what does it mean when a war has taken over
  
  it's the same everyday in a hell manmade
  what can be saved, and who will be left to hold her?
  
  the whole world...world over.
  it's a worldwide suicide.
  
  medals on a wooden mantle. next to a handsome face.
  that the president took for granted.
  writing checks that others pay.
  
  and in all the madness. thought becomes numb and naive.
  so much to talk about. nothing for to say.
  
  it's the same everyday and the wave won't break
  tell you to pray, while the devils on their shoulder
  
  laying claim to the take that our soldiers save
  does not equate, and the truth's already out there
  
  the whole world,... world over.
  it's a worldwide suicide.
  
  the whole world,... world over.
  it's a worldwide suicide.
  
  looking in the eyes of the fallen
  you got to know there's another, another, another, another
  another way
  
  it's a shame to awake in a world of pain
  what does it mean when a war has taken over
  
  it's the same everyday and the wave won't break
  tell you to pray, while the devils on their shoulder
  
  the whole world,... world over.
  it's a worldwide suicide.
  
  the whole world,... world over.
  it's a worldwide suicide.
